Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The E2E-X2MF2 can be substituted with the E2E-X2MB28 2M based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Sensor Type: Both parts are inductive proximity sensors
• Sensing Distance: Both maintain 0.079" (2mm) detection range
• Output Configuration: Both provide PNP-NC, 3-Wire output
• Package / Case: Both use Cylinder, Threaded - M8 form factor
• Termination Style: Both feature Cable Leads
• Material - Body: Both constructed from Stainless Steel
• Operating Temperature Range: Both operate across -40°C ~ 85°C
• Ingress Protection: Both meet IP67 minimum specification
• RoHS Compliance: Both are RoHS Compliant

The substitute part represents an evolution within the E2E product family (E2E NEXT series) while maintaining backward compatibility with the original electrical and mechanical interfaces.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The E2E-X2MB28 2M is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete E2E-X2MF2. Both sensors maintain identical electrical output characteristics (PNP-NC, 3-Wire) and mechanical form factor (M8 threaded cylinder), ensuring direct compatibility in existing installations.

The substitute part offers enhanced specifications in response frequency (1kHz versus 800Hz) and extended ingress protection rating (IP67, IP69K versus IP67 only). The voltage supply range of the substitute is narrower (10V ~ 30V versus 10V ~ 40V); applications requiring operation above 30V must retain the original part or identify alternative solutions.

Both parts carry RoHS Compliance certification and are suitable for industrial sensor applications requiring stainless steel construction and cable lead termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E2E-X2MB28 2M directly replace the E2E-X2MF2 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both sensors share identical output type (PNP-NC, 3-Wire), sensing distance (2mm), and M8 threaded cylinder package. Mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible.

Q: What are the key differences between these two sensors?

A: The substitute part operates at a higher response frequency (1kHz versus 800Hz) and provides enhanced ingress protection (IP67, IP69K). The voltage supply range differs: the original accepts 10V ~ 40V, while the substitute operates within 10V ~ 30V.

Q: Is the substitute part suitable for high-voltage applications above 30V?

A: No. The E2E-X2MB28 2M is rated for 10V ~ 30V supply voltage. Applications requiring operation above 30V must use the original E2E-X2MF2 or identify alternative sensor models.

Q: Are both sensors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the E2E-X2MF2 and E2E-X2MB28 2M are RoHS Compliant.

Q: What is the product status difference between these sensors?

A: The E2E-X2MF2 is classified as obsolete, while the E2E-X2MB28 2M is an active product. The substitute represents the current production alternative within the E2E NEXT series.

Q: Do both sensors feature LED indicators?

A: Yes. Both sensors include LED indicators for operational status monitoring.
